âScreech!â The car braked suddenly. The chauffeur was so startled that he stopped right in the middle of the road, almost causing an accident. Luckily, there were only a few cars at this time of night.
âYoung Master Ouâ¦â The chauffeur looked back in confusion, but saw Yin Shaojieâs darkened expression instead.
âOpen the door!â Yin Shaojieâs voice had a captivating tone about it.
The driver unlocked the car doors immediately.
Yin Shaojie didnât care that the car had stopped in the middle of the road. He got out of the car swiftly and made his way to the roadside.
âXiaoxiao!â He looked around anxiously. His sharp, dark eyes searched every corner, but could not locate the figure that was occupying his thoughts constantly.
There were not a lot of people. Thus, he only needed a single glance to see that Mu Xiaoxiao was not here.
Something wasnât right. He had clearly heard Xiaoxiao call out to himâ¦
He heard it very distinctly. That was Xiaoxiaoâs voice! He could never mistake her voice for someone elseâs.
âXiaoxiao!â he shouted again, his voice loud and resonant.
A lithe and graceful figure wearing a pair of heels stepped out from the car. She walked towards Yin Shaojie and reached a slim hand out to tug at his arm. âOu Ming, did something happen?â she asked anxiously.
She was speaking in Language R.
Yin Shaojie snapped back to reality at the sound of her voice. He turned his handsome face a little to look at her, his pupils trembling.
âIâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xichuan Qianling glanced towards where he had been looking before. She asked thoughtfully, âDid you see someone you know? This place closes really early, so there arenât a lot of people around at this time. You must have been mistaken.â
Yin Shaojie looked away, his dark eyes a little downcast.
Could he really have mistaken her voice for something else?
He muttered, âI heard someone calling me earlier.â
Xichuan Qianling laughed daintily and joked, âMaybe a faraway friend mentioned your name and you felt it because your heart is linked with his.â
Yin Shaojieâs gaze trembled slightly.
It was highly likely that Mu Xiaoxiao came to Country R because she was trying to find him. He didnât believe in coincidences.
Thus, when he heard her voice earlier, it was actually her trying to find him, right?
She was looking for him.
Yin Shaojieâs pupilâs contracted.
This made him recall the time he hurt her and caused her to run back to America. He had been so anxious to find her that he was practically falling apart.
Then, was she right now also feeling the same way as he did before?
His heart was awash with anxiety as he thought of this possibility. He wanted to find her as soon as possible.
Dammit!
Mu Xiaoxiao, youâre really too bold for coming to a foreign country on your own!
Yin Shaojie could only hope that there was someone who accompanied her here.
If she dared to come here on her ownâ¦
He gritted his teeth. He was definitely going to give her a good spanking later.
Xichuan Qianling observed his expression uncomprehendingly. âOu Ming, are you really alright?â
When Yin Shaojie turned around to look at her, his eyes had already regained their calm.
He nodded slightly. âIâm alright. I must have heard wrong. Letâs go.â
He walked over to the car.
Xichuan Qianling quickened her pace and stepped in front of him. âArenât you supposed to go at 10:30 PM? You might miss your flight at this rate.â
